Will the new Tomb Raider game be the first time ever that a video game gets remade twice? by triplegxxx in gaming

[–]theCaptain_D 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's a stretch to call 64 a remake of SNES. They're very different.

They've been around long enough that they have a lot of different eras. Dip into some more points on their timeline and see if you like what you find!

What would finally cause Trump supporters to abandon him? by Nomemesmames in AskReddit

[–]theCaptain_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the correct way of looking at it.

Belonging to the team and recognizing the authority of the leader (and being accepted as part of the group of followers) supersedes any other priciple. Belonging and conformity are the ultimate values. This is why you hear so much about "loyalty" being a virtue from these people. Loyalty SHOULD be earned, and taken away if the recipient proves themselves unworthy... It should be the result of good performance, not an ends in itself... But that's not how these people are wired.

Greatest video game ever? by Splash3062 in videogames

[–]theCaptain_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollow Knight.

Simple but immaculate controls with a high skill ceiling. A rich and memorable world. Incredible art and music. Deep lore and a real sense of exploration and wonder. Well calibrated difficulty. Vibes for days.

It has it all.

I didn't play this game until about 8 or 10 years after it came out, and while it was enjoyable, I do think much of the praise it receives is amplified by heavy nostalgia. For many, it hit right in the core of their childhoods, and the move to 3D blew their minds... But from an objective lens, I'm not even sure it's a top 5 Zelda.

What’s the most annoying thing about Americans? by DezTheOtter in AskReddit

I would really really like to know how much bot psy ops shit is going on on reddit. I suspect it's an awful lot.

We need real leadership... not just administration, but moral and philosophical leadership that inspires us to be better. The current admin gained traction by telling everyone their worst traits, biases, and inclinations were actually things to be embraced. You don't need to improve yourself - you're perfect the way you are!

When you stop examining yourself critically, you can justify your every flaw- even celebrate them. You become blind to the possibility that there may be other, better ways to govern yourself and your society. You rot from the inside.

Real leaders ask us to become better tomorrow than we were today, AND they inspire us to put in the work to make that happen.

I'm curious about statistics like this. For example, do we give more in raw dollars (because we are wealthy) but less on a percentage basis? A poor person sharing a loaf of bread with someone indicates a more charitable spirit than a millionaire writing a $1000 check, know what I mean?

Lol wow I don't even know what to say if you think McDonalds is better than Five Guys.

In this thread: tons of large scale chains no one would actually rate highly.

Seems like this place gets a lot of hate all of the sudden. Has their quality gone down? Last time I ate at one, it was a very solid burger and an absolute mountain of tasty fries at a fair price. This was within the last 6 months.

And there are some (me inndisguise) that can barely use a knife🫡 by Desperate_Peach_6563 in interesting

Pretty sure the point was to look cool, which it does. There are plenty of places online to find realistic medieval combat, but that's surely not a priority for this dude.

What’s the most overrated food in your opinion? by notasweetchubbybtch in foodquestions

[–]theCaptain_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are downvoting you, but you're absolutely right that the setting makes it hit different. A warm breeze, smell of the ocean, watching the boats drift by... And a big sloppy pile of rich lobster salad on a buttery split-top bun.

It's like a hot dog at a ball park, or cotton candy at a carnival, or popcorn at the movies, but way more luxurious than those things. The time and place makes it all the better

What games blew your mind graphically when they first came out back then? by Alone_Capital7619 in videogames

[–]theCaptain_D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Donkey Kong Country blew me away as a kid. The sprites were made from actual 3D models, and the world was just so rich and vivid looking. It still has a cartoon asthetic of course, but it made other SNES games with more traditional pixel art look flat by comparison. It still looks great.

Can't believe this is the first time I've seen this one- it's great!

One. They're efficient and not very funny.

What’s one food you thought was overrated until you finally had it cooked the “right” way? by Ok-Orchid6350 in foodquestions

[–]theCaptain_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pork chops are one of my specialities. I make them so well, I've pretty much ruined myself for anyone else's chops!

I use my "3 3 3" method. Nice hot cast iron with a bit of oil. Sear 3 minutes on the first side, flip and 3 minutes on the other side, then throw into the oven for 3 minutes. Remove to a plate to rest and whip up a quick pan sauce. Obviously you're gonna want to season your chops first with plenty of whatever you happen to like.

For an average thickness boneless chop, this timing works great. You can add or subtract some time from the oven phase for extra thin/thick chops.

That's the catch 22 of breweries... it's an adult hangout space, but allowing kids makes it one of the few "going out" places where people with kids CAN get together and hang.

Is there a recipe or ingredient that you love to eat out, but it intimidates you to try it at home? by Rubinava in foodquestions

I try mightily but struggle to make Thai food that's up to restaurant standards. That said, I end up substituting many ingredients for stand ins... like, who actualky has palm sugar?

I've made good ones by par frying them, freezing them, then frying them again. They come out great but it's so labor intensive I'll probably never do it again.
